Watch to see that the red LED of the AP-
WRC2 receiver flashes 3 times when power is
first turned on.
Press any of the fob buttons while observing
the red LED of the AP-WRC2. If the red LED
illuminates when buttons are pressed then
the AP-WRC2 has power and is responding to
button presses.

connected properly (refer to installation
section) and the connection is free from
corrosion.
